The small earth house was very cramped, and the light was quite dim. The scene inside the house was unclear, but Jin Cenglv imdiately noticed the golden embroidery of the Six-winged Angel on the black-clad man’s clothes.
That was Angel’s exclusive symbol.
So, was that person one of Angel’s people?
Jin Cenglv’s expression flickered slightly and she glanced sideways at Gu Zhiqi.
From the mont they left ho until now, Gu Zhiqi hadn’t told her what they were out to do.
Due to her personality and the trust she had in Gu Zhiqi, she hadn’t asked much, but questions still lingered in her mind.
However, at this mont, it seed there was an answer.
Gu Zhiqi gestured for silence to Jin Cenglv, then pulled her to hide next to the small earth house.
They hid for less than three minutes before a figure suddenly appeared outside the small earth house.
The person was dressed in Angel’s uniform and, upon entering the house, woke up the person who was dozing and berated him.
Then they had a conversation lasting about two minutes.
The conversation was in language F, which Jin Cenglv did not understand.
Two minutes later, the sound of stone slabs rubbing against each other ca from inside the house, and then silence fell.
After five more minutes, Gu Zhiqi silently slipped into the small earth house and directly twisted the neck of the yawning black-clad man.
Jin Cenglv also entered the house.
After dealing with the black-clad man, Gu Zhiqi began to feel along the wall, and soon there were small movents in the house.
Jin Cenglv followed the source of the sound and spotted a hole in the corner of the small earth house.
Approaching closer, she could see a stone staircase within the hole.
Standing at the entrance, the staircase seed endless; looking in, all she could see was darkness.
Gu Zhiqi took a talisman out of her pocket, stuck it on the black-clad body, and then proceeded to the staircase first. "Follow," she said.
Jin Cenglv said nothing, rely silently kept pace with Gu Zhiqi.
This stone staircase was quite long, taking about three minutes to descend.
The end of the stone staircase was a corridor, which had a lamp burning every few steps; still, the light remained dim.
"There are chanisms, follow my path," Gu Zhiqi suddenly said to Jin Cenglv after covering so distance.
Jin Cenglv nodded and then kept up with Gu Zhiqi’s steps.
After a few steps, the strong tallic scent of blood hit her nose, causing Jin Cenglv to frown in discomfort and subconsciously look around.
There was nothing.
The source of the tallic scent was unclear.
Suddenly, the sound of wind breaking ca to her ears, snapping Jin Cenglv back to consciousness, and she saw a Feather Arrow flying toward her.
Then it halted very close to her.
She rely saw Gu Zhiqi securely holding the Feather Arrow in her hand.
Jin Cenglv was stunned for a few seconds, a wave of fright washing over her. Once she composed herself, she apologized, "Sorry, Master, I... got distracted."
Gu Zhiqi waved her hand nonchalantly, "Watch your step."
She then continued walking forward.
Jin Cenglv, seeing this, corrected her posture and imdiately kept step with Gu Zhiqi, not daring to be distracted again.
They walked for about ten minutes when they heard the sound of footsteps.
Judging by the sound, there were around ten people nearby, and the sound was getting closer.
Both Gu Zhiqi and Jin Cenglv halted their steps. Gu Zhiqi glanced upward at the corridor ceiling, then with a swift leap, pulled Jin Cenglv up and clung to the stone wall above.
"Don’t make a sound."
Gu Zhiqi’s words had just fallen when a group of people appeared in their sight.
